Phone Scam Alert

Dear Editor:

Scammers who call are claiming to be techs with a well-known company like Microsoft. They say they’ve detected a virus or malware on your computer to trick you into giving them remote access to your computer or try to get you buy software you don’t need.
This scam is happening in this area! A Harrison resident received a call and notified the Attorney General’s office. She was told that this is called ‘The Microsoft Scam’ and the Federal Trade Commission is looking into it.
